Keep in mind he was creating Heaven and Earth. Some of the things are created for heaven. Like he said let there be light. Then separated the light and darkness. We live on the dark side, with the sun for light.

No human has ever lived for hundreds of years and dinosaurs and humans did not co-exist. The average human lifespan in ancient times was 30-40 years, at the best. That is reality and non-debatable.

How does this refute a single thing I said? Are you suggesting that what the Bible said happens isn't what actually happened?
Regarding the OP, that is disgusting and I feel bad for the kids being brainwashed into that nonsense. It should be stopped immediately. Maybe those regions would actually get something done and stop being so damn ***-backwards and poor if they would put the conservative religious Kool-Aid down for a minute. Teach the children science and philosophy - and other, actually useful things - instead of literalist Biblical bull****. Then the children would actually have the tools to grow up and pull their communities out of white trash poverty, unlike their stupid parents and the predatory pastors feeding them lies.

I don't see the problem, I think you're just splitting hairs.

The Bible says birds were created before land animals - that isn't true. The Bible says that early humans were formed alongside all other contemporary species - that isn't true. The Bible says that the sun and stars were formed after the oceans and plants - that isn't true.
There is no splitting of hairs. These are the things the Bible says, and they are demonstrably false. Do you accept that?
No, i wasn't there. If you're going by what science says happened I guess you've chosen your side. Tell me what demonstrates it to be false.

Yet you believe the Bible, for no good reason.
Earliest bird: archaeopteryx, 150 million years ago. (Archaeopteryx - Wikipedia)
Earliest land animal: pneumodesmus, 428 million years ago. (Pneumodesmus - Wikipedia)
Earliest homo sapiens: around 200 thousands years ago. (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/02/050223122209.htm)
Sun's and stars age: 4.6 billion years. (Stellar age estimation - Wikipedia)
Earliest plants: 470 million years ago. (First land plants plunged Earth into ice age)
Formation of the oceans: 3.8 billion years ago. (Why do we have oceans?)
You give up on God over a fossilized slug alleged to have lived 428 million years ago. To each their own...

You are the one who said that the Bible "held up". But now, according to you, it only "holds up" if you ignore all the facts and just believe it to be true regardless.
That's not "holding up". That's blind faith.

Except that the concept of god and the theory of evolution are not mutually exclusive, and belief in god does not require belief in literal interpretations of ancient creation fables (which originated from primitive morals).
As in "they should be brainwashed into thinking like you think"? With three children that I had no teenage problems to speak of and now all three are enjoying great marriages with children that are giving them no problems, I say "keep the brain-washing going because much of the minds today need some cleaning up"!!!!!
You mean like the fable of Haeckel's embryonic drawing that were taught in biology classes even when they had already been proven false?
How fudged embryo illustrations led to drawn-out lies
What does that have to do with teaching kids that the Bible is true and that dinosaurs and humans lived together, in public schools?
In a club, you can teach whatever you want. You have Satanist clubs, LGBT clubs, Bible Clubs, political clubs... It is the parents right to exercise their given liberties.
I wouldn't agree with some of the clubs that are there and what they are teaching but the parent has every right to do so. If they don't like it, they can take their child out of the club.
They may weigh the benefits of the Bible keeping their children washed in their thinking while dealing with the dinosaur issue at home.
Any child will get their archaeological (dinosaurs) information during their public schoolings. They are smart enough to make logical conclusions.

Mercer County, West Virginia - Wikipedia
Trenton, as the article specifies, is a student there.
An interesting example of the fallibility of human pattern recognition - particularly, when not supported by attention to detail and fact/assumption-checking.
I googled it perhaps because of my location all I got was Mercer county NJ. I also knew that it was a students name. It just seemed to me to be quite a coincidence, which it turns out it is. I worked in Trenton in Mercer county and visited Princeton quite regularly. I googled Mercer County West Virginia but kept getting Mercer County, NJ. It probably has to do with how google posts searched Items (I live in New Jersey) and if I scrolled down I would have found Mercer County, West Virginia but yes I am fallible. You were able to correct it Thanks.

Really? Did not die? So the announcement of Able's death was just propaganda, and like Elvis, did not actually die?
Obviously, it was all just a Publicity Stunt to discredit Cain-- who was forced to marry? A non-human?

No--- I gave up on god mainly do to the existence of God-Preventable Atrocities, such as cancer in kids, or death of infants due to no-rainfall starvation.
And please don't insult my intelligence by claiming "original sin" or other nonsense: is it ethical to punish the innocent for the alleged actions of people born centuries before?
If I, as a mere human, can see the IMMORALITY of such actions-- how much more evil is it, when a supposedly DIVINE BEING does it!
